The Umbrella Academy spoilers: Is Klaus immortal?


The Umbrella Academy, which was released on Netflix a few weeks ago, spent most of its season exploring the superpowers of its main cast, including those of Klaus (played by Robert Sheehan). Klaus appears to die but is soon revived in one scene of the Netflix drama, leading some fans to wonder if The Umbrella Academy character is immortal. Robert Sheehan’s character in Misfits was also unable to die, prompting fans of The Umbrella Academy to wonder if this scene is a Netflix Easter egg to the E4 series.

Is Klaus immortal in The Umbrella Academy?

If the Netflix series follows the comic books, then it is likely that Klaus is immortal.

According to a flashback in one episode, it seems that Netflix are following the Gerard Way series with this character.

In this episode, we see Klaus enter the afterlife after, presumably, dying on Earth in a nightclub.

However, he seems to be rejected from the afterlife and wakes up back in the club, suggesting that he is, in effect, immortal.

Though this is not explicitly the afterlife, Klaus does speak to the recently departed Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) there.

The series has not made clear whether this was a dream sequence, however, or a genuine visit to the afterworld.

In the comic books, it was revealed that Klaus is immortal after he was rejected by God himself.

Though the series has referenced this event, it has not explicitly been said that Klaus is immortal.

WHO PLAYS POGO IN THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY?

Some fans think, however, that we have seen him close to death and coming back to life at another part of the Netflix show.

One Umbrella Academy fan wrote on Reddit: “In the show he is also returned to the land of the living (if you count the ambulance ride in [episode] 1).”

In that episode, Klaus comes back to life in the back of an ambulance after an overdose.

Though the question of whether Klaus is immortal is still up in the air, in Misfits Robert Sheehan’s character Nathan was immortal.

As such, the fact that The Umbrella Academy has not actually said whether he is immortal could be the show distancing itself from the BAFTA-winning show.

On the other hand, the choice to cast Sheehan could have been because of his previous role as an immortal character.

More about Klaus and his powers is sure to be revealed in the upcoming season two of The Umbrella Academy.

Netflix has not officially renewed the series, but rumours abound that the show will return.

The Umbrella Academy is streaming on Netflix now.
